A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person.
The positioning, facial expressions, composition and lighting are a few things that will affect the outcome of the portrait.
